NATIONAL JUNIOR TENNIS & LEARNING

The USTA National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) network is a nationwide group of more than 600 nonprofit youth development organizations that provide free or low-cost tennis, education and life skills programming to more than 250,000 children each year.

Founded in 1969 by Arthur Ashe, Charlie Pasarell and Sheridan Snyder, NJTL develops the character of young people by emphasizing the ideals and life of Ashe. While NJTLs vary in size and programming, this growing network shares a commitment to positive youth development, the importance of education and tennis as a lifetime sport.
